Mesothelioma victims welcome dedicated asbestos center in Sydney
Two years after Australian asbestos activist Bernie Banton died of mesothelioma, a new dedicated asbestos research and treatment center in Sydney will bear his name. The Bernie Banton Centre located at Sydney’s Concord Hospital is claimed to be the largest stand-alone institute in the world dedicated to research on asbestos diseases.
Kevin Rudd, Australia’s Prime Minister, has pledged $5 million in federal money to the institute.
